Hi Rik111,

Sounds like you have a malware infestion. I suggest you START HERE and go through the manual fixes on your own and if you are still having problems, then post a hijackthis log in the malware forum

Hello Rocky

Point taken :tazz:

From the post I thought he was going with ctrl / shift / esc

Rik

Maybe if you click start then run, type sfc /scannow then press enter to replace the system files, you need the XP CD and get a blue bar, reboot when the bar goes

no nothing happens at all the only difference is when my cpu starts up it works really hard (sounds like it physically) and then limewire pops up... i just found this out and i've hit a record omg it's been like 30 seconds since limewire didn't try to start up like crazy... :tazz:

You have Limewire......this could be a malware infection......or maybe it is your keyboard! Check and see if nothing is stuck between those keys.

Download and open the following (from Kelly's Korner):
taskmgrenable.reg.

Since this problem is usally caused by malware, you follow the advise of the rest of the guys a go to the Malware forums.
